《The transmigrated Emperor Of Mankind is a hikikomori girl?》 Prologue 1 The chaotic scene inside the giant hall makes even the bravest, the most seasoned veterans churns their stomach and puke out their gastric juice, if not dying outright. Various projectiles are flying everywhere inside the hall, wrecking any obstructions standing between them and their targets. Debris knocks onto each other, flies up in a flurry like a storm made of chunks of plastic, pieces of ceramic and steel armors, and mixed into that are some bone shards, meat and blood of various colors, some are crimson, still warm, some are black, dried up from hours ago, some are even have a purplish green shade to it, burning as soon as they contacted air inside the hall while emitting a foul, putrid smell, complimenting the anguish screams and screeches emitting from hundreds of people and animals, some are screaming as their limbs got blasted into million particles by a flux core reactive cannon round, some are wailing for their comrades, some are chanting fanatical prayers and mantras, trying to bless themselves with vile unknown powers or curse their enemies, and some are just simply screaming because their mind cannot stand firm before the psychic attack of the nightmarish warlocks and have gone mad as their brains and organs twists, turns, and finally cramp themselves into the infinite void that should not even exist. Such is a scene playing out in the 4 kilometers wide audience hall of the grand flagship ¡®Vengeful Spirit¡¯ of the Horus Lupercal, the chapter master of the Luna Wolves, the Favored Son of the Emperor, the Warmaster of Imperium, and the arch traitor of humanity. The battle aboard his ship has gotten into the final phase, as millions of troops and space marines pours into the battlefield just to be evaporated by plasma and heavy lasers, the final attack led by the Emperor himself against Horus the traitor is closing into an end soon, with nobody will be able to back off at this point. In the middle of that gruesome battle, stood two man facing each others. The giant man donning a golden and red armor suit with wings folded on his back shouted at the top of his lung: ¡°HORUS LUPERCAL, YOU CONTEMPTUOUS, UNFILIAL BASTARD! WHAT HAVE THE RUINOUS POWER DONE FOR YOU!? NOTHING! THEN WHY HAVE YOU TURNED YOUR BACK AGAINST OUR FATHER AND HUMANITY ITSELF?¡± Hearing that, the man in the blackened tactical dreadnought armor just snorted at the giant. Caressing the freshly decapitated head of a space marine in his hand, he then exude out a malevolent and overbearing aura, causing the winged man to unconsciously shuddered back a bit. With a disdainful gaze, he opened his mouth: ¡°You are asking the wrong question. It¡¯s supposed to be ¡®what have you and your ¡®father¡¯ have done for humanity itself¡¯. The chaos god have opened up my mind, they let me know about many things, the ugly truth about humanity, your fake god-playing father, about everything. I know them all, Sanguinius, I know it all. Do you even know what the Chaos itself feeds upon? Humanities¡¯ deepest desire. And I¡¯ve seen all of them, thanks to Lorgar. If not for him, then I would have spend the rest of my life doing corrupted bidding for our ¡®father¡¯, ha!¡± ¡°YOU!¡± - The giant angel gnashed his teeth, audible crunching sound could be heard emitting from his mouth. ¡°In the name of Imperium Of Mankind, I will erase you and your corrupted warband off the face of this universe!¡± The ornate sword by his waist unsheathed, emitting an invisible buzzing warp force field. As it flies forward, the blade scrapes against the scabbard, dragging along with it a trail of white scalding spark like a whip of fire, punishing the enemies at his command. ¡°That¡¯s all you¡¯ve got!? Haha, favorite child of the emperor, you are still so weak and naive!¡± Horus also leaps up, his palm closes up like a blade as a lightning claws gauntlet manifested upon his forearm, sparking with purplish, reddish blood colored energy bolts. In half a second, the claws made contact with the sword- CLANG-!!! *KACHA-! Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.TSSSSSSSS-!!!! - BOOM!!!!!!! -a hundred time. BAM! The hall was engulfed in white light, with intense heat and force erupting from the duel of two primarchs at the eye of the storm. Troops from both sides who were standing close to their commanders were pushed back and sends flying by the terrifying force, some even disintegrate instantly- ¡°NOOOOOOOO!!!!!¡± ¡°HELP MEE!!¡± ¡°I DON¡¯T WANNA DIE!!!!!!!!¡± ¡°KHORNE BLESS ME!!!!!!¡± ¡°AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!¡± -screams erupted again, many time more savage than the cries before their exchange. Both of them were pushed back, away from each other tens of meters. Horus stand straight like a ramrod without a scratch on his body, laughing savagely. On the other hand- *Pu-* The previously unscathed Sanguinius spurts out a mouthful of blood, his magnificent armor cracked, seemingly countless holes spills out a mixture of machinery oil mixed with his own blood. His pale face is now even paler, appears even ghastly, but the expression on it did not change one bit. ¡°Horus¡­ for you to fall so low¡­ using chaos hexes? You are not that different from a daemon prince, i see.¡± As he stopped mumbling, the aura of his halo began to magnify and expand, gradually washing the hall with a golden light, stunning both loyalists and traitors. As for his opponent Horus, he just stand there without moving, smirking. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s better to end your life for good, preventing future trouble for our father¡± The golden aura condensed and force their way into his sword, blazing with intense white flame. On his back, the white pair of wings spreads out majestically, slowly turns blood red. Laughing maniacally, Horus brandished the pulsing power claw. ¡°Haha, come, Sanguinius! I know that you are not such a weakling! Show me your strongest card, let me have some fun and I shall grant you the honor of your skull offered to Khorne!¡± The red angel charged toward Horus as a burst of psychic force propelled him forward at the speed of sound. ¡°DIE!¡± Horus¡¯ expression hardened, He raised his other hand wielding a war hammer and smashed it to the direction of Sanguinius. WHOOSH! PUCHI! WHAM! CRACK! The two exchanged blows once again, but this time, there¡¯s also thousands new stab wound emerged on Horus¡¯ armor plate. Both of them appears to match evenly at this point, but suddenly- *SKEEEEEEEE- BOOOM-!* A gigantic railgun projectile with the size of the Eiffel tower went past the void shield array and found itself bore into the ship hull, just a dozen meter away from the audience room- BANG! -but the force of the projectile wasn¡¯t that easily negated. ¡°What!?¡± The angel¡¯s expression turns ugly. The shockwave pushed him away and tumbling toward Horus¡¯ lightning claw in a blink of eye, and Horus did not miss this heaven blessed chance. His lips corner went up slightly into a malevolent grin as he drove the claw fueled with howling demonic energy toward his brother¡¯s sternum and- *Puchi* -Drove his forearm straight through it. *RIPPPPP* He pulled his forearm back, dragging along with him bit and pieces of meaty organs and ceramite armor, in his palm was holding two beating hearts connected with each other by adamantium and plasteel cables, one fleshy and pulsing, the other black and covered in hexagonal nano webbing. Sanguinius froze in place as his armor hardened, the power source destroyed by Horus¡¯ strike earlier. Vomiting blood along with bit and pieces of his lung, his eyes bulging with red veins, he wailed vengefully: ¡°HORUSSSSSSS!!!! I, SANGUINUS, KING OF BAAL, SON OF EMPEROR, PRIMARCH OF THE BLOOD ANGELS, SWEAR UPON MY BLOOD THAT AFTER I DIE, I WILL MAKE YOUR SKIN FESTERS, YOUR BLOOD ROTS, YOUR FLESH CRAWLS WITH TYRANIDS AND YOUR MARROW BURNS LIKE PROMETHIUM! I CURSE YOU!!!¡± Horus stood there, sneered: ¡°So long, brother.¡± Then he slowly crushed both of Sanguinius¡¯ heart into a fine red powder in his hand, then burned it to nothingness with a ghastly black fire formed by his psychic power. Sanguinus furious eyes slowly turns dim and finally, he collapsed. Upon witnessing this scene, the traitor troops loudly cheered while the loyalists broke down and sob incoherently, some even goes mad and laughs hysterically as their morale has hit the rock bottom of all rock bottom. The ship then shakes violently. Horus looks up toward the ceiling and relaxly smiled: ¡°Finally, you are here¡­¡± Prologue 2 BOOM! The ceiling above Horus shakes violently and then shattered, revealing a golden figure slowly descending on the top of the pile of debris, accompanying him is a legion of golden armoured custodians, exuding out a domineering holy aura, seemingly unstoppable like a tidal wave that would engulf the whole world in a flash. A flaming sword in his hand, golden halo shining behind his head, a figure that could be said as the embodiment of the word ¡°perfection¡± incarnated. The loyalist legionnaires¡¯ mood went up as they thought a primarch has joined them in battle, but as the smoke disperses, a golden ornate twin-headed eagle proudly spreading its wings on the plate armors, a veteran cries out loudly: ¡°The Imperial Eagle! Lord Emperor and his Custodes is here to battle with us!¡± The previously broken loyalists upon witnessing this scene also weeps uncontrollably and yells: ¡°The Lord is here!¡± ¡°The Emperor bless me!¡± ¡°The Lord come to fight with us!¡± ¡°Avenge primarch Sanguinius for the emperor!¡± Seeing the revitalized loyalist charging at his troops once again, Horus complexion did not change, still sporting a disdainful smirk. ¡°Well, well, the almighty Emperor of mankind, do you enjoy the tour around my Vengeful Spirit? Isn¡¯t she nothing short of Magnificent?¡± The expression on the Emperor¡¯s face did not change one bit. With a solemn gaze, he stressed: ¡°Drop this tomfoolery of an act right now, Horus. Do not force me.¡± BOOM! The golden aura behind his head exploded, radiating golden majestic holy light everywhere, suppressing Horus¡¯ aura at a visible rate. Horus did not back out either, increasing the power of the energy permeating from the gaps of his armor as it twists and turns the space around him, raging to tear through the fabric of reality itself. As the space around the two of them starts to distort, The Emperor couldn¡¯t help but flinched. ¡°Stand down at this moment, fool! Do you really want to submit your body and soul for it to control!? Heed my order and stand down!¡± The emperor exclaimed, his face contorting unsightly. However- *Kacha* The air around Horus shattered like a pane of glass and a energy stream with colors that shouldn¡¯t even exist rushed into every orifice visible on his face. The world around him seems to be stopped for a few seconds. ¡°Your words are meaningless! Horus is gone, and now, I, am, the Warmaster! I am fear, power, death and chaos incarnated! I will sows seed of destruction across your beloved Imperium and feeds its citizens soul to the great god of the vast warp! Your folly effort to unite the galaxy will never become true, and you, Emperor, will not leave this ship alive!¡± As Horus bellowed, his eyes starts to glow red like burning tracers, the mace on his hand glows with power, and he charged at the Emperor in a mere millisecond! *WHAM!* Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author. The Emperor parries the vicious mace with his power claws and brandished his power sword in the other hand: ¡°It is already too late!? Then you leave me with no choice! Vile daemons of Chaos, die!¡± As he said solemnly, he charged forward into Horus with an unstoppable momentum. *CLANG!* *TSS* *WHA-M* *CLANK-CLANK-! PA-!* Horus¡¯ strike was unrelenting, and each of his mace is akin to a meteor, smashing towards the Emperor. His assaults filled to the brim with violence and hatred, unyielding, somehow seems full of savagery and elegance at the same time. The emperor did not lose out, but as opposed to Horus¡¯ meteoric strength, coupled with the servo machinery of the tactical dreadnought armor, he accurately slashed and stabbed at Horus¡¯ blind spot, each strikes filled with a regal magnificence, cascading at Horus like a kilometers high waterfall, and at the same time, filled with fury as hot as a white star! *CLANK* *CLANK* *CLANK* *CLANK* *CLANK* *BA-NG!* After a hundreds of strike in mere seconds, both of them are pushed back a few meters, but as opposed to the Emperor¡¯s calm visage, Horus¡¯ was sweating like a waterfall with no stop. The loyalist troops cheered loudly while the cultists grimaced with their distorted face. After a second of the two gazing at each other fiercely, something finally happened- *Puchi* Countless shallow wounds and scratches opened on both of them. ¡°Hahahaha, as expected of the Anathema, whoops, apologize, hmm, how should I address you? right, the Emperor of Mankind?¡± Horus laughed evilly with a frosty grin, his voice calm and cold like dry ice, totally different from the earlier Horus. ¡°So you have finally showed yourself¡­¡± Mumbled the Emperor. His mind raged for a nanosecond and calmed down in a flash. The air around him turns frosty at a rate visible with naked eye. With a grim face, he stressed out words slowly: ¡°Then die.¡± *DADADADADADADA-* *KABAM* The space in front of him exploded into a fiery burst of sword strikes, each of them filled with holy might, cascading into the direction of Horus. Each strikes are deadlier than the earlier, executed perfectly at an inhuman speed. ¡®Horus¡¯ face contorted a bit, he quickly parried some of the strikes with the lightning claw and quickly retreats backwards, trying to negate the force of the Emperor¡¯s sword. ¡°Very fierce, I like it! Magnificent! If I were to compare this sword to a person, I¡¯d say that it is Genghis Khan himself reincarnated!¡± With great difficulty, ¡®Horus¡¯ yelled amidst the sword storm. *KA-* *Ka-* *CLANG-* *KACHA-!* *BAM!* The mace in ¡®Horus¡¯ hand flies away as he grimaced. As a matter of fact, however strong a Primarch is, they can never best their father, the Emperor, as he is the source of their power originally. Still wearing an unchanged expression, the Emperor coldly said: ¡°Stand up, I¡¯m not done with you yet.¡± With some difficulty, ¡®Horus¡¯ regained his footing, he snickered: ¡°Too bad this kid is way too weak to contain my full power, or we would¡¯ve have more fun, yeah? How about you create a more powerful body for me next time? Hmm?¡± ¡®¡®Truly chaotic¡¯¡¯, the Emperor thought. ¡®¡¯It is disregarding all of that damage from the earlier exchange without batting an eye? I put quite a bit of force into those strike. This would be a bit troublesome.¡¯¡¯ ¡°Enough!¡± He exclaimed. ¡°I¡¯ll grant you a swift death, no, I¡¯ll erase your very existence off the face of the universe, the warp, everything! Be obedient and take this contently!¡± As he said, the psychic power around him starts rolling ominously- ¡°This is bad!¡± ¡®Horus¡¯ thought secretly. ¡°I cannot manifest my true power in this realm, this is very troublesome! At least, lets try and hang on for a while!¡± The psychic energy around the Emperor starts to spin quicker and quicker, until it turns itself into a vortex, cracking with blue white lightning arcs streaking throughout the hall- *VRRRRRRRRRRRR* *Ka-* *Crack-* ¡°Come, boy, let¡¯s see how strong is your strike!¡± ¡®Horus¡¯ screeched. As he pulls his palm, the mace flies across the hall and lands itself upon the Warmaster¡¯s palm. Despite being weaker, he charged straight at the Emperor like a madman, arms outstretched, swinging the mace! ¡°GO!¡± The emperor sends a psychic order to the vortex full of volatile energy as it compressed into an extremely dreadful bolt round, shooting at the Warmaster in every plane of space and time, seemingly omnipresent! However- *BOOOM-!!!* The space exploded once again, flinging shrapnels and debris everywhere- ¡°FOOLISH BOY! DID YOU FORGOT THAT WE, ARE THE WARP ITSELF? HAHA! WHAT A FOOL! ATTACKING US WITH WARP POWER!¡± ¡®Horus¡¯ cackle maniacally while gazing at the emperor in disdain. ¡°Oh, is it so? Did I really attack you lots with warp power at all? Hmm? Slowly savor it and be grateful, heheh¡­¡± The golden figure smirked.
